As if that is not a hard enough work, you also need to know their background.  For example, an American or European guy would have a different culture and tradition about courting and relationships compared to an Asian guy.  It makes me think that it is not that easy being a woman after all.

So in order to help you with this quest, I have listed a few things that you would want to watch out for when you are seeing somebody, and would want to know if he has the potential to be “The One”. And since I believe you already know how to deal with your fellow Filipino, even though he is a guy, the following would be better observed when you are with a foreign man.  Be sure to look for the following signs of attraction.

1.  Watch out for extreme attitudes towards you

As a general rule, guys tend to be very attentive and nice towards the girl they like, especially if they want the object of their interest to know how they feel.  However, there are also some guys who annoy and ignore the girls they are attracted to just don’t want the girl to know how they feel about them.  I guess they are just afraid that the girl won’t like them back. Talk about confusing body language, right?  So, observe how he treats you. If he does differently with the other girls you know, then he’s probably attracted to you.  Of course, since you are a Filipina, he would also consider the fact that you have been brought up with strict culture and traditional views, so he’d still be very careful around you.

2.  He wants to spend time with you

Attraction is a universal feeling. So no matter what his race is or what country he came from, a guy who is attracted to you would always want to spend time with you.  He would want to get to know you better to find out if you have the same interests and likes.  Because of this, you might want to broaden your horizon by reading topics with an international scope; you can’t possibly expect a foreign guy like him to know so much about the Philippines, right?

You can establish your belief that he likes you when he asks for a second and third date, that is, if you can keep the conversation and his interest coming.

3.  He will, eventually, be expressive of his feelings

Of course, you are used to all your Filipino suitors, whose idea of wooing a girl is to be her friend first then hopefully and ultimately be her boyfriend.  More often than not, the Filipino guys you meet who like you do not tell you outright how they feel, compared to guys who came from other countries, especially the Western ones.  Since you are dating a foreigner, you won’t have a prolonged waiting time before he’ll finally reveal his true intentions. Unlike Filipino guys who tend to beat around the bush, so to speak, when dating a Filipino girl.  So when that time comes, you won’t have to depend on these signs of attraction because you will learn personally from him if he is really into you.

Lastly, and basically, attraction is one of the most difficult feelings to hide, so all you have to do is keep an eye out for it.

Interracial romance and love affairs are very popular right now, what with the arrival of high technology which advances by the hour – and almost by the minute.  Because of these advancements, many things that were impossible to do before are just a few breaths away now. Imagine that.  One of those things that technological advancement has made possible is online dating or, on a general note, international online dating.

Before, international dating is very hard to achieve, especially before the internet was introduced.  People who participate in international dating had to endure the impossible period of time that snail mails take.  Add to that is the expensive amounts of overseas calls that used to bleed the callers to death, figuratively –and financially speaking; whereas online dating is very cheap and accessible.

And because communicating has been easier since people discovered the wonders of the internet, you can easily tell if the one you have been dating online has a particular interest in you.  And you can also tell if the relationship you have at the moment is a very promising one.

So, how do you know if the guy you are seeing online is interested in you romantically?  Here are several ways to find out with a few tips thrown in.  Note them done and tick each one very carefully.

1.  You have to know his preferences.

Of course, the first step you have to take is to learn about his preferences.  You can easily do this by asking him of what he looks for in a girl, or you can just check out his profile if you have meet through a website that offer dating service.  So if you possess the qualities of a girl that he is looking for, then you can already consider that as a point on your side.

TIP: Many foreign guys prefer Filipino women for a girlfriend and, eventually, a wife.  This is because they know that Filipino women have traditional values and they view relationships and marriages with high regard.

2.  Think back on your previous conversations and observe your current one.

See if your conversations have a nice flow to it, because if it does, then you can tell that you have chemistry, and that you interest him enough to for him continue talking to you.  If he asks you questions, it means that he wants to get to know you more, and that he thinks that you might have a wonderful future together.

TIP:  If you really like that guy you have been dating online, then I suggest that you check out his hobbies and interest, and read on the subject.  You can also learn some of his culture. That way, you will have something that you can build your foundation on.  Being the Filipina that you are, you can easily this because of your innate ability of immerse yourself in different cultures.  And, mind you, it’s just being resourceful and clever, not sneaky.

3.  He wants to spend time with you.

International online dating also means that you live in different time zones. And one of the perks of online dating is that you are sure that whenever you go online, there would be someone that you can talk to and engage in the rituals of dating online with, especially if you are using a site that offers free dating service.  So when the foreigner that you are seeing asks you when you can go online, then you can consider that as another check in your “Signs that He Likes Me” column.  It only means that he is willing to spend time with you even if it’s just online.

And lastly:

Of course, there would be other tell tale signs that he is really into you.  You just have to keep an open eye on them, and interpret them with an open mind.  After all, you do not want to give out the wrong signals, as well.  And you also have to uphold the positive disposition of Filipinas, which what made them famous as being one of the top choices of foreign men when it comes to romantic relationships.

Of course you are a little hurt that the one you love has some reservations with commitment, but as you ponder on this, you realize that it really has nothing to do with you, personally speaking.  It’s just that your man tend to shy away from commitments in general.

So how do you remedy this?  How do you convince your man to forget his long-time fear of commitment to you and your relationship?  Read on and find out how to solve your relationship problems by using the following proven techniques:

1.  Keep him interested

We both know that little sparks and tiny sizzles do so much when it comes to long-term relationships.  Aside from the love you feel for each other, it also helps the relationship, without making it too dull or too predictable.  You need to feel a thrill and some excitements from time to time.  Otherwise, you end up losing your romantic connection and find yourselves in a platonic state.

2.  Give a little chase

This is related to the previous tip.  When you know that you have gotten his interest and his attention, you would want to keep it and keep him at it.  You have to give out the image that you are the typed to be chased and wooed, and that if he wants to go out with you, he would have to work for it.  However, you would have to take care not to be too much of a hard-to-get.  You don’t want him to get the wrong impression and think that you’re not interested with him anymore.

3.  Spend some quality time with each other

This tip is pretty self-explanatory.  It is so simple that many couples take it for granted, without realizing that this is actually one of the keys to the door that leads to happy endings.  When you spend some time with your beau, you get the opportunity to talk to him about things that would help you bond with each other; things like interests, hobbies, plans, dreams and goals.  Some of these topics are pretty sensitive that he would only open it up and talk about it with someone he really loves and trusts, and cares enough to listen to pieces of advice and criticisms, then you can ask him about the commitment issues that he has.

4.  Have some “Me” moments

Oh, no. I do not mean that you would go so far as to break up with him so he would know your worth and realize that he does not want to lose you.  What I’m suggesting is that you also have to allot some time for your own self.  When you do this, you would have the chance to think about what you really want from each other, without the presence of the other to cloud or influence your decision.  When you are both sure with what you want, then you can focus on how to work on committing to your relationship.

5.  Let him know of your expectations

Men are such oblivious creatures.  They do not know what is happening around them half the time.  So don’t think that he is just being insensitive, he’s just not that aware with his surroundings.  So try finding out his opinion on commitment, and you just might be surprised to know that you have the same thoughts on that matter. If not, then you could try persuading him to see your way about commitment issues.

Attractive, successful, independent men are the men worth your time and attention. These are also the men who know exactly what they want from a woman. They are looking for women that will enhance their lives without bringing drama and issues into their world.

Men and women date for very different reasons. Women date with the ultimate goal of finding someone to spend their lives with. When a woman enters the dating circle, she is virtually on the hunt for a quality man that she can see starting a family and growing old with. When a man enters the dating circle, he is looking for a good time. He wants a woman that is fun and exciting and will enhance his lifestyle.

When you meet a quality man, he may initially be attracted to you for your physical traits. Eventually the physical will become second nature and he will look to other factors in you to keep him interested. Are you fun? Are you a good listener? Do you allow him to maintain his freedoms while still enjoying time spent with you?

If a man feels he needs to compromise the life that makes him happy in order to be with you, he may decide these sacrifices are not worth the time he spends with you. If he feels he’s missing something to be with you, eventually he will make a choice. The sad truth is… the choice may not be the one you want.

Fortunately, your relationship doesn’t have to reach the point of this kind of decision. You can become a huge part of what he loves. The key is: don’t make him choose.

Be in control of your emotions and allow him to have the freedoms he enjoys. Don’t be jealous when he chooses to hang out with his guy friends instead of with you. Don’t give him an emotional hurricane when he forgets your birthday. Be understanding when his job makes him work long hours or takes him out of town. Don’t be a doormat and put blinders on; but be understanding when your man has a life outside of you.

When you finally meet a great man, make sure you have your best foot forward. Let him see that you are emotionally stable and can handle whatever life throws at you. Let him see that you can enjoy life with or without him. When you are with him, have fun. Give him memories that will keep him thinking about you. Let him feel the love you bring to his life without reminding him of your contributions. When you enhance his life, he will look to you to be in his life.
